modifications: I had two skeins of this so decided to go ahead and make it a little bigger. Added one more stockinette section and one more garter/eyelet section, but was worried that I didn’t have enough to do the final garter section so bound off…just 8g left :)

And I finished these socks...sort of a matched but mismatched deal. It's a good thing they weren't meant as a gift! And I've been watching these tutorials on darning (part 1 and part 2) and patching socks (part 1 and part 2)...and gosh, it looks so simple! I kinda wish I had some socks in need of both to try out the techniques, lol!!! Just a note, the clarity is kinda poor in these tutes, but it's enough to get the idea :)

Pretty, pretty shawl, I love the colour grey and now I have a particular yearning for a gorgeous grey shawl........I may just have to give this one a go........so many lovely patterns in blog land, so little time......oh, and very pretty socks too.

Great matching job on the socks; sorry about the annoying dye lot issue though. Thanks for the link to the cute shawl pattern; that looks like a fun knit. Love your "rain" stitcheries on your sidebar~describe our area perfectly!

LOVE your scarf. So beautiful Thanks for pointing me to the pattern. It's lovely. So are your socks. They turned out fantastic too, even with slight color differences. Gives the feet some personality I would say :)

Love everything! Color on the socks is gorgeous. I'll have to give that yarn a try.Cardigan will get plenty of wear for sure. I know what you mean about the kerchief I keep saying I'm going to make one. Maybe tomorrow
